To all who read this, to anyone who needs a pick me up or just a reminder, because I can’t send individual messages,

You’re going to be okay.

And maybe things ain’t going well right now and maybe you’re not feeling swell, and maybe you’re tired from too much work or tired from nothing at all. Maybe you’ve lost someone or maybe you lost yourself to someone or maybe you wake up each morning with your inner demons being the first to greet you or maybe you’re upset because you lost your favourite shoes.

You’re going to be okay. Because you’re you, and you’re stronger than you think, even if you don’t feel like it. You’ve made it this far, haven’t you. Up to this word, and this one, and this one, and you’re breathing and alive and if you can just keep it up, you’ll be okay with time.

Time fixes most things, and what time cant fix you have to fix it yourself. Plan things out. Take an hour to calm yourself and sort out your thoughts. If something or someone is affecting you negatively, distance yourself or erase that source of negativity all together.

You’re good enough. You’re more than good enough, you’re amazing, and even though things don’t seem amazing right now, give it time and they will be, if you help it move along. If you’re not happy with how you look, remember that a genuinely happy, confident smile is one of the most attractive things you can pull off and wear.

People come and go like seasons. People change and so do you. If you’ve grown distant to someone, think about whether it’s worth the chase after or not. Sometimes things just need to be let go. People need to be let go.

All in all, you’re going to be great. And the sun is always going to shine on you and even if those inner demons never leave, you’ll learn to quiet them, or maybe play cards with them until they’re sleepy.

You’re going to be okay. You’re doing good.

And it IS important to apologize.  You deserve respect and kindness.

But Feli's wishful thinking about trading games and toys had Alfred smiling and giggling a moment later.  "Yeah, that would be a whole lot better!  But...  I wouldn't give up my toys and games for anything!  So...  Maybe it wouldn't work so good."  It was a fun thought, but Alfred knew from experience that paying with money worked so much better than trading objects.

[ he zooms the camera out so Gilbert can see his wonderful Minecraft creation ]

It's a scale model complete with custom furniture and paintings!

[ he's so proud of himself ]

I also made the Pentagon and the Capitol, so that--  

When I have to meet with other Nations or talk to 'em about stuff, we can come here in my server and do it instead of flyin' all around the world and stuff!

Look, look--  I even have the meeting rooms set up!  It's just like doing it in real life, 'cept we won't have to!

[ look at this little guy so proud of himself and with so much free time on his hands ]

*He never saw himself as a father to the little one, so he thought that all that affection didn’t have a special reason.*

*He swallowed hard while one of his hands searched for the little nation’s arms. He pressed it softly.*

Yes… Well— Since I didn’t go there so many times, I tried to make something I knew you would enjoy—

*”So you could have nice memories about me.” But he didn’t complete the sentence. He tried to smile once again.*

Perhaps we can make our next free day a holiday, too. A brand new one.

[ The little Nation's bright blue eyes widened at Arthur's suggestion. ]

Uh huh!  Yeah!  We--  We can make lots of new holidays and have lots of new fun--

We haven't done that since I was little!

[ Well, little-er, but he didn't add that to his statement. ]

And--  And we can take turns making new holidays!

[ Alfred is so excited about this idea!  It's something to take him back to the times when Arthur lived with him, at least for a while, when he was a colony!  How wonderful!  The little blond began wiggling and bouncing a bit with excitement. ]

 I’ll do my best to get what you ask for and, of course, I would be happy to spend the day with you … if you’ll have me.

 [ Certainly, the day made her feel sad and lonely, but it was impossible to be either with Alfred around. ]

 [ The subject of his independence is certainly a difficult thing for Alice,  but only because of the loneliness it brought.  She understands and forgives his actions and she is quite proud of him for becoming such a strong nation. ]

If I'll have you?  Of course I'll have you!

[ He's pretty sure that means that he'll let Alice come over to his house to celebrate.  He mimicked her language because it was amusing to him. ]

If you get to my house early, we can see a parade and go do some fun stuff on the mall!

[ His smile is so bright and hopeful.  Maybe, even if Arthur can't be there, Alice can at least!  And he can keep her from being lonely and sad on such a special day...  Even if the special day is a celebration of what brought loneliness in the first place.  It would be a good time to remind Alice of how much he loves her. ]
